Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to", and "itunes could not copy to the ipod because the file could not be read or written" WTH?

I recently bought my son who is special needs an iPod shuffle gen 4 and nothing but complications.  I kept getting error message saying it could not be read from or written to.  Then it would not even charge up.  I let ig charge on computer for 6 hours it turned green.  Then I went to check it out and it went to orange then nothing.  So, I took it back to the storea and got another.  I am home excited for my son and nothing it is doing the same thing!  Someone please help me I am ready to swear off iPod period!

I had this issue and couldn't figure out what it was for the life of me. I am running windows 7 and the latest version of itunes. I tried multiple reinstalls of itunes and restores of the ipod. I finally got it fixed by following this guide.

Apparently there was an issue with my .dll files. Hope this helps.

    You don't delete a file, you have to delete a folder. Is that what you did?
    If you deleted the folder specified above, and you still get the message, then it's the wrong folder. Use your operating system's search function and find ALL folders on ALL disks whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA, delete each one found, and then try opening Lightroom.

    It isn't a file, it's a folder. It will have the same name as your catalog, but will have the extension data. It will be in the same folder along with your catalog. If you need to use the search feature to search for *.lrdata.

  • The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved

    Hi guys,
    I removed my bootcamp partition to clear up some temp space and expanded the Mac OS partition up to the fullest size again using Boot Camp Assistant.
    The first thing I noticed was that when I restart to computer gets stuck on an ugly BIOS looking screen with a message something along the lines of "no bootable partitions could be found", Easy way round is to hold down the ALT key which brings up a sole Mac OS button to boot from.
    Now I try and make a little partition again using the assistant and it won't let me because it says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved". It then advises to back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended volume before restoring again.
    Is there anyway to fix this lot without going through doing this.
    Will Boot Camp Restore re-instate the OS as well as my user files?

    I had a similar problem when I undid my boot camp partition to make it larger. I tried to make it 50 GB which gave me the same error about the files not being able to be moved. I didn't get the "no bootable partitions" error. I changed the size of the partition to 47 GB and ran the boot camp assistant. It stopped while partitioning and I have to force quit to stop it. I restarted the assistant and made the partition a little larger to 48 GB and it partitioned finally. My suggestion is to ry adjusting the size of the partition and see if that allows you to make the partition at least. For you other problem, I'm not sure... From what I gathered from other forums, the drive might be fragmented which causes the partition error. There is no free defragment tool for mac (dunno why) but they exist.

  • "itunes could not copy song to the ipod because the file could not be converted."

    Hello.  I'm using iTunes 10.6 and trying to sync an iPod Classic 120GB with Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I keep getting the error "itunes could not copy 3 songs to the ipod because the file could not be converted."   All three songs are AAC, 256kbps. I didn't have this problem with these songs a couple days ago until I decided to convert all 256kbps songs to 128kbps to fit on my 120Gb iPod.  iTunes, nor my iPod haven't updated during this time.  Any suggestions?

    This problem does seem pretty random, affecting just a small number of tracks. Apparently it is due to some file corruption or something... Anyway, this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2654317?start=15&tstart=0 has a couple of solutions spelled out. Basically the same thing that a-monk-at-large suggested above. (Delete and redownload the offending tracks.)

  • The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved

    Prerequisites: Computer has had a partition installed in bootcamp with a non-complete Windows XP installation
    Started by uninstalling the old windows and restore the partition.
    Got error on disk so it was cooked by the Lions recovery and was OK
    Trying to re-install Windows, but get the same problems that
    "The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved"

    Problem solved by reducing the size of the windows partition to 40GB (from 50GB).
    I had a quit full disk so perhaps that influenced, not i have about 43GB left for mac and 40GB for windows

    Hi finecut,
    I believe this Mac Mail Help info may help:
    Backing up your mail
    You can back up your mailboxes to a CD or another disk. To do this, you can either copy the Mail folder in your Library folder or create an mbox file, a common format for storing mail messages.
    ▪ To save the contents of all your mailboxes, hold down the Option key and drag the Mail folder to your desktop or to another disk. The Mail folder is in the Library folder in your home folder (~/Library/Mail).
    Copying the Mail folder only backs up mail from POP accounts, or mail from an IMAP account that you've copied to On My Mac. When you are ready to restore the Mail folder, choose File > Import Mailboxes, select Mail for Mac OS X, and locate the Mail folder.
    ▪ To create an mbox copy of a mailbox, drag the mailbox from the mailbox list to your desktop.
    ▪ To create an mbox file with just some of your messages, select the messages, then choose File > Save As. In the Format pop-up menu, choose Raw Message Source, then enter a name and save the file.
    You can copy mbox files to CDs or to other disks. When you want to restore your mail, choose File > Import Mailboxes, select "Standard mbox files," and locate the files.
    hope that helps,

  • I just ordered a macbook air today and need to know if the 128gb SSD is enough space. I presently have a macbook pro and am using only 30gb hard drive space so, the apple rep said 128 is enough as I do not load much pictures or gaming etc. Also is i5 ok.

    I just ordered a macbook air today and need to know if the 128gb SSD is enough space. I presently have a macbook pro and am using only 30gb hard drive space so, the apple rep said 128 is enough as I do not load much pictures or gaming etc. Also is i5 ok.

    Id choose the I5 yes, depends on what your usage is going to be,
    ....your question about "128 gig being enough" begs the question for IDEALIZED USE of your macbook AIr
    In the case of a Macbook Air with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.  You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
    *Generally, unless you NEED the data at least once every few weeks or once a month,...it really does'nt NEED to be on the SSD of your Macbook Air.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
    Ive got more APPS than any human should have on my 128gig AIR,..(50 or so),....and 10gig of working data, important files etc etc.
    Still have 82gig available....... the entire point is that someone shouldnt consider the Air a "storage device" for tons of pics, music, vids, etc.
    *Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.
    For needs of packing around a LOT of "big data" with your Air in its case..., get a nice 1TB HD for $70, or even a 2TB drive not much bigger.
    Perfect 2TB HD, very slim, the "little giant"   made by Toshiba (have several of these) $119

  • Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"

    Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"
    I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page.  It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following:  "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  I click locate but do not know where to go from there?  I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it.  I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer.  What to do???  Any help is much appreciated!!!

    See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
    If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.
